I can't see spending extra money on a dirt cheap system to "downgrade" to XP.

how is it for mainstream home stuff?

I've never used Vista, but have heard a lot of negative comments.

I have vista on 4 PC's currently. Vista 64 seems to work just fine.

I'm running it on my laptop. I've been using it since September without any hiccups. I don't ask a lot of it, but it's been pretty solid for me.
